Speaking of strawberry jam...
New favorite song

“The Party” 

off Regina Spektor’s new album.


SO. RELEVENT. TO. MY. LIFE.
I just keep listening to it on repeat.

You’re like a party somebody threw me 
You taste like birthday
You look like New Years
You’re like a big parade through town
You leave such a mess but you’re so fun

Tell all the neighbors to start knocking down walls
To grab their guitars and run out to the hall
And we’re coming out right along to sing them my new song

For every place there is a bus
That’ll take you where you must
Start counting all your money and friends before you come back again

For every road we can’t retrace
For every memory we can’t face
For every name that’s been erased
Let’s have another round
May I propose a little toast?
For all the ones who hurt the most
For all the friends that we have lost

Let’s give them one more round of applause
But you’re like a party somebody threw me
You taste like birthday
You look like New Year
You’re like a big parade through town 
That leaves such a mess but you’re so fun

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite books

“’I am Chroma the Great…conductor of color, maestro of pigment, and director of the entire spectrum.’

‘Do you play all day long?’ asked Milo

‘Ah yes, all day, every day.’

‘What would happen if you stopped?’ asked Milo, who didn’t quite believe that color happened that way.

‘See for yourself,’ roared Chroma, and he raised both hands high over his head. Immediately the instruments that were playing stopped, and at once all color vanished. The world looked like an enormous coloring book that had never been used. Everything appeared in simple black outlines, and it looked as if someone with a set of paints the size of a house and a brush as wide could stay happily occupied for years. Then Chroma lowered his arms. The instruments began again and the color returned.

‘You see what a dull place the world would be without color?’ he said, bowing until his chin almost touched the ground. ‘But what pleasure to lead my violins in a serenade of spring green or hear my trumpets blare out the blue sea and then watch the oboes tint it all in warm yellow sunshine.’”

feelin’ those weaknesses pretty hard today…

It’s a strange thing, how you can love somebody, how you can be all eaten up inside with needing them—and they simply don’t need you. That’s all there is to it, and neither of you can do anything about it. And they’ll be the same way with someone else, and someone else will be the same way about you and it goes on and on—this desperate need—and only once in a rare million do the same two people need each other.
